Javascript can also somewhat alleviate harvesting

On: Honeypot For Identifying Email-Harvesters

I've been using:
function nospam(user,domain) {locationstring = "mailto:" + user + "@" + domain; window.location = locationstring;}

emailme@domain.com

This has greatly cut down on spam harvest parasites grabbing my email on sites I develop - but like anything it is not a perfect solution

Re:ZoneAlarm - NT was named for a different reason

On: Microsoft Refuses To Fix NT 4.0 Exploit

Actually NT was named for a different reason - MS was targeting NT to the Intel i860 (code-named 'N-Ten)', a RISC processor that was oft delayed. That's why it was called NT, because it worked on the 'N-Ten. Marketing later said it stood for "New Technology" . . .(post dev). You can read about it here: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winserver2k3_g old1.asp

Typical Microsoft embrace and extend strategy? Or perhaps a tainted gift for RMS on his recent birthday? The EULA can not be decompiled by any craft that we here possess, Gimli son of Gloin, the source must be returned to Redmond and cast back in to the fiery chasm from whence it came . . .
